Engagement
A typical post picks up 521 interactions against 2.6M followers, an engagement rate of 0.02%. Measured over 89 original posts, its engagement rate beats 57% of 3,758 tracked accounts of a similar size, which puts it in the middle of its size range rather than at either end. Posts are seen about 87K times each, and 0.597% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 3.30% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 3 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 73% of days. Most posts go out around 10:00 UTC, and Sunday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 89 posts sampled, 16% carry an image or video and 100% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 55K interactions, about 106x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #ballondor, #barcelona, #rodri.

Compared with accounts its own size
Ballon d'Or's engagement rate beats 57% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,758 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 10 of 10)). A percentile is spread evenly by construction, so 50 really is the middle of that group and 90 really is its top tenth.
On engagement per impression rather than per follower it beats 43% of the same group. When those two numbers disagree, the gap is about how far its posts travel rather than how people react to them.

At 0.02%, Ballon d'Or sits above the 25th percentile of the 36,378 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the below the median band, which runs 0.012% to 0.08%.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 10:00 UTC, and Sunday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked. They do not show how this account performs at each hour: we keep one aggregate per account, not one per hour, so that measurement does not exist in our data.

- What is Ballon d'Or's engagement rate on X?
- Ballon d'Or (@ballondor) has an engagement rate of 0.02%, based on the median interactions across 89 original posts from the last 30 days against 2,644,666 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.02%, Ballon d'Or sits above the 25th percentile of the 36,378 accounts in this comparison. Those comparison accounts are all large ones, because our scanning cadence is weighted towards big accounts, so this is a ranking among peers of similar scale rather than a ranking across X.
- Does @ballondor have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 57% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,758 accounts), which puts it in the middle of its size range group. Ranking inside a size band matters because engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly re-measure the follower count. It is a starting point for a look at follower quality, not a verdict on it.
- When does @ballondor post?
- Most posts go out around 10:00 UTC, and Sunday is its busiest day, at roughly 2.97 posts per day across the measured window.
